Climate Change Endangers Tibet's Bon Faith in Nepal's Highlands

20 Haziran 2026Al Jazeera

In Lubra, the last Bon village in Nepal, climate change is wreaking havoc as floods threaten both homes and agricultural land. This environmental crisis is not only a physical threat but also poses a risk to the preservation of ancient Bon traditions.
The community faces the dual challenge of adapting to changing conditions while striving to maintain their cultural heritage.
The Bon faith, an ancient spiritual tradition originating from Tibet, is closely tied to the natural environment. In recent years, climate change has intensified the frequency and severity of natural disasters, particularly in the Himalayas, impacting vulnerable communities like those in Lubra.
The situation in Lubra highlights a broader trend where indigenous cultures are increasingly at risk due to climate change. As extreme weather events become more frequent, the intersection of environmental degradation and cultural survival becomes critical.
